Podcasts on Heart Disease and Cardiovascular Risk Factors

The Cholesterol Podcasts are the most recent additon to podcasts covering heart disease and it's risk factors. As you may already know, heart disease is the number one killer in the United States and the number one cause of death among Latinos in the United States. I based these podcasts on conversations I have with my patients everyday in the clinic. I invite your feedback and discussion on medical care of Latinos with heart disease here!
If you are interested in the topic of cardiovascular disease. You will find many more podcasts on Stroke, Diabetes, Chest Pain, and obtaining a Cardiovascular History in the list of Previous Medical Spanish Podcasts.
Preventative Care in the Latino Population
Many immigrants from Latin America are not accustomed to seeing a doctor for preventative care. Therefore, clearly explaining the treatment of cholesterol and other silent risk factors for heart disease is so very important. I hope these podcasts on cholesterol help.
